The installer is completely non-functional. It cannot work with the MS-DOS partition table. It cannot set the boot flag for the partition, and therefore cannot boot the finished system. It cannot install itself in a single Btrfs partition. It does not install grub2, and modules are missing when target=i386-pc. The grub that is installed is simply broken. I have never heard of nilfs2. The default installation often crashes the installer. There are a bunch of similar topics on their forum about my case from 2-3 years ago, and in 2025, nothing still works. Three installations on two different PCs, grub is broken everywhere. Constant crashes when manually partitioning the disk. Complete disappointment. No wonder they told me to only take distros from the top five, everything else is such terrible junk and a waste of nerves that it's not worth any attention. Don't waste your time, go for the top distros that have zen-kernel or Liquorix. And be happy with your super-fast PC, ready for anything life throws at you. Was this review helpful?

Everything worked, online installation a breeze, additional software a breeze and everything was up to date. No waiting for ir to be tested or moved into your repos. Setting up the hardware was done in the installation and has required no further adjustment. I am currently running windows 11, Endeavour, MXLinux 23.5 Senpai and Reborn with no complications. Distro hopping at its best. There have been no hiccups. Experience since installation has been a great experience. Was this review helpful?

Downloaded and installed the MATE 1.28.2 flavour of ReBornOS and like it very much. It let me decide what I wanted, or didn't want. I even was able to install a couple of favorites from Flatpak that I wanted, and ReBornOS let me access my desktop HDD backup of my profiles I keep on hand so I don't have to go through all the hassle of setting them back up when changing computer's or distro-hopping. I liked the little extra package they included when I install Xscreensaver onto my MATE installation that let the screensavers work from MATE Screensaver GUI. I am surprised that this Arch OS is not higher up on the popular interest list. It installs without any hiccup's, at least for me on my old hardware, and it has everything available that I want or use. Oh, and by the way, I use Arch! Lol!, a little gem I picked up from It's FOSS. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 47 reader reviews of RebornOS...
